Guard Cats, Silly Bandz and Etiquette Class

Just me and Ruby here. It's amazing how that little nugget can

soothe me. I got into a little "debate"this week with some members of our homeschool group over shooting dogs. But that's another story...

Loving my new iPhone. Absolutely. She has a lovely new

Seaglass Blue Candyshell case and my, my, does she feel

pretty. I am finally get the knack of all the goodness

iPhones have! Below is a picture I took while we were

PF Chang's yesterday:

While I write this, Snookie is guarding our front door.

Attacking birds, perhaps? So good to have a Guard Cat.

We went to went to Borders yesterday for a Silly

Bandz Swap. Have I told you how much I LOVE Borders?

They offer a wonderful teacher's discount, are extremely

friendly and helpful, will let you host FREE birthday parties

there (complete with a hostess that will read stories and do

games with the children + a nice party room), and have

fabulously fun activities for kids.

I think I could live there. Nice cafe, clean bathrooms, cushy

chairs and all the books I could ever read.

They even served refreshments at the swap!

The etiquette class was wonderful. Once upon a time

the teacher was Miss Arkansas! She is an absolute sweetheart

and truly cared about the girls. Not only that, she loves the

Lord- and it showed. The girls left with the ability to set the

table for casual and formal occasions, polite phone,

conversation and texting skills. They also learned personal

care, how to act during a job interview, how to sit and walk

properly and more.

Watched The Big Lebowski last night. Weird.

My newest adventure is teaching an American Girl

class in my home! I am so excited! I have a full class

already- and even a waiting list. Now I have to start

planning the magic!:)
